Q) Why did you say I shouldn't make a text based adventure game? What's wrong with them? They're not easy to make. In fact they're one of the harder games you can make. Parsing text input and making sense of it alone is difficult. Add onto that the heavy events and complexities involved in text based adventure games an you have a project that a beginner probably isn't equipped to handle. Believe it or not, simple realtime action games with animation and graphics (like a simple galaga or space invaders clone) are tons easier to make. Beginners want to try out the text based games because they think it will be easier because they think graphics are difficult. But they're mistaken! |
